Take the below image for example, see how all the measurements are in xx'-xx"? Instead, I want it to show xx.xx' (e.g. 1'-10.70" would be 1.89'). How do I do this in AutoCad? I'm using the 2020 version.

-DWGUNITS command 

Make sure to select Yes when asked: "Scale objects in current drawing to reflect change in units?"

Thanks for the comment.

 

Anyway, I followed your instruction and got the following message:

"WRN: Assembly binding logging is turn OFF."

 

Quick Google Search seems to show that this is due to profile/user restriction. I also work on a work laptop so this is probably why. Will contact IT if they can help but in the meantime, is there an alternative to -DWGUNITS?

I think you can change the display with UNITS command, and scale everything manually as an alternative.

You're in Engineering Units [showing feet and decimal inches].  If you want to see the feet mark, you must be in Architectural or Engineering Units, with the drawing unit representing an inch, and those can only show things in feet and inches, not in decimal feet.  If you want decimal feet, you will need to be in Decimal Units, with the drawing unit representing a foot rather than an inch [hence the scaling issue when you change Units].  HOWEVER be aware that things like the Properties palette, and the return of commands like DIST and ID and LIST, will not include the feet mark, just the decimal "raw" number.  But you can get Dimensions to show the feet mark, with a Dimension Style defined to have that as a Suffix.
